The temple of Apollo at the archaeological site Asklepeion
on Kos Island.

Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine, was born on the
Island Kos, and he taught his students on this location.
After the death of Hippocrates, the Asklepeion was built as a
holy place, a medical centre, and a school. The site was built in 4 BC. on three levels, with several Temples & Altars dedicated to Apollo and Aclepius, the god of medicine. It is considered to be the first hospital of ancient times. In Greece there were 300 sites dedicated to Aclepius, but one considers this place to have been the most beautiful and important one of them all. It has therefore become a symbol of
Ancient Greek times.
